Hey all,
I'm pretty set on purchasing the HAF 922 mid tower for my new build and I am wondering what the best arrangement for my case fans will be. This case has the big 200mm fan on the front for intake (I will probably buy a dust filter for it) and it has a 200mm on the top and a 120mm on the back for exhaust. Based on my conventional knowledge, I plan to set the front fan to pull air into the case and face the top and rear fans so they pull air out of the case. But if I put a 200mm on the side panel of this case (I think it is actually more like a metal grate) should I face it to suck air in or out of the case? I don't know if it would be more efficient to blow air across my graphic cards or to try to pull the hot air away from them. It seems like I will have too many exhaust fans if I set it to pull air out, but I wanted some more opinions. Has anyone messed around with fans on this case?
